I checked the search bar and didn't get anything.
I am thinking about trying some corks this weekend. I've already landed a few but I have problems getting off axis. Any particular tips about:
1) how to go consistently with corks and not bailing out
2) how to get more psyched

well, there are about afinity descriptions of every way to get corked on here somewhere, and to get psyched, wait for someone to do something gnar, get amped off that, bump some tunes LOUD, and giver shit.

I try but every time I try something new I almost always hurt myself in some way that scares the shit out of me
like ALMOST breaking my arm or ALMOST hitting my head on the ground

almost breaking your shit doesnt mean you broke it. i fell down a 150 foot rockface/cliff thing a few weeks ago and im psyched to hit it again so i can shred it..just don't think of what can happen you just gotta do it bro

ye, the first time I tried a backflip took some psyching up. Like i watched this kid do it and just pictured myself doing it a couple of times and then tried it. Well my tips caught and it flung my face into the ground. I was pretty shaken up but by the time I was at the top of the lift I was like alright Im ready to go again. Im just really really good at rationalizing and reasoning with myself, sometimes its good sometimes its bad.
